Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence Review

I was super happy to receive this to trial as I'd been looking for a new serum for a while. It comes in a really pretty box thats red, love it already!

When I took it out of the box, I had a huge amount of trouble figuring out how to open it? I almost gave up as I was scared of breaking it trying to pull the lid off. It turns out you twist once to release the pump, then twist again to remove the top and reveal a dropper.....ahhhhhh!!! The 'how to' recommended 2 pumps per use, so of course I read that as meaning 2 dropper fills, waayy too much so realised that mustve meant 2 pumps on the lid (I felt really dumb). For the first week I used as directed but it just seemed way too much so for the remainder of my 3 week trial I used one, much better and still some to spare.

It felt really lovely and cool on my skin and absorbed almost immediately, I guess my skin was pretty dehydrated. It didnt feel sticky or tacky and I found if I used it in conjunction with a moisteriser I didnt really need to use a primer under my foundation, nice!

I cant say I've noticed the lines dissapear on my face but it has definately hydrated and brightened up my skin and reduced some of the dry flaky aread around my nose (hate those). I think its a light serum and I used it morning and night as directed to get the maximum benefit. I think I'd be quite happy to carry on with this serum. The price its pretty reasonable compared to other brands and I would imagine it could last maybe 4-6 months if you only used 1 pump instead of two?

This okay Regenerist miracle boost youth pre essence is legitimately amazing. You only need a small amount as it goes a long way. I felt that it quickly absorbed into the skin and it did feel incredible. I noticed my large pores dramatically became smaller almost instantly. I couldn’t believe it. The fragrance is nice too.

This serum is step two of a four step regimen however they don't all need to be used together. The claims on the box say it boosts skin renewal, reduces wrinkles and firms. The packaging of this product is lovely, it's an elegant red bottle with a pump in the lid that ensures you dont end up using too much. It has a slight scent and is a clear liquid with a light texture. I started off using this as instructed which was to use twice a day after cleansing and before moisturiser. After a few days I found it a bit much so reduced it down to just using in the morning. This product feels divine going on the skin, it absorbs super fast and is easy to rub in. It left my skin feeling so smooth. In the short time I have been using it I don't think it reduced any wrinkles as stated but my face does feel softer and looks brighter. This is one of the lightest, most gentle serum type products I have used that doesn't leave the skin feeling clogged.

I was lucky enough to be chosen to review the Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence and Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting Cream. I have normal skin with a few mid-30’s wrinkles around my eyes and on my forehead, and I’m usually a little neglectful of a proper skin care regime as I’ve taken it for granted enjoying pretty good skin condition so far. However I have been looking for an affordable and effective skin care products to slow the signs of ageing I’m starting to see, and keep my skin in the good condition it’s currntly in, and that I can enjoy using. I think I’ve found this in these products. Firstly they’re affordable and accessible, being found in supermarkets. They both have a lovely fragrance which is important to me - I want to enjoy using the products! And most importantly, they have delivered effective results for me over the last few weeks. I can see my skin is smoother, brighter, and more even. The Olay Regenerist Miracle Boost Youth Pre-Essence claims to renew cells, visibly reduce wrinkles, and firm skin. My skin definitely looks fresher, wrinkles appear to be minimised and fewer, and even though I’ve suffered from a lack of sleep over these last few weeks no one has said I look worse for it, so perhaps these products are compensating for my lack of sleep and keeping me looking great! In terms of the use of the products, I loved the texture of the essence, you only need one dropper “squirt” not the recommended two, and it absorbed in nicely. I noticed a bit of residue for the first few days but this went away, just make sure you don’t use too much, and allow it time to absorb before putting on the microsculpting cream. I love the bottle. I initially thought the dropper was a bit gimmicky but it’s actually really well designed and the packaging looks modern and sleek. I did have some small breakout initially and I don't know which product caused it, it may have been the combo of using such rich products after not having used anything near as creamy for a while. This breakouts last less than a week though and my skin after the few weeks’ use is spot-free. I used a new foundation during this trial which combined with winter temperature changed dried my skin out, but after using these Olay products the dryness went away within a day. A little goes a long way with these products and that make them even more appealing, they’re definitely a worthwhile investment at a great price, and while I don’t think Ive had ten years knocked off the appearance of my skin, I’m sure with more use the benefits I’ve seen to date will only continue to grow. Definitely enjoy using the product and would buy again. I'm interesting in seeing the review of the other product in the line to see if I'm missing anything!

I love everything about this serum.

The clever cap automatically draws up exactly the right amount for one 'dose' of the serum with the action of undoing the cap is genius. So no more wondering if you are using too much or too little for maximum effectiveness.

The top of the cap then also allows really good control of serum release. You can release a precise, small amount, work that in and then drop a little more to a new area, etc if you prefer to apply that way.

The serum has a similar consistency to a very thin clear gel and is very rapidly absorbed. It is pleasantly cool on application and does not have any unpleasant post application sensations associated with its use (unlike some other serums I've tried which variously burned, tingled, numbed or tightened).

But the best thing is what happens when you use it in combination with the Olay Regenerist Micro Scultping Cream...

Noticed a massive difference to my skin after just a few days using this essence. My skin feels tighter and using this has evened out my complexion which is great. I definitely have brighter looking skin and the pores on my face are not as visible. I love the dropper on the bottle, great feature so no more guessing how much to use. The product is a light clear texture which I have been applying under the Olay Regenerist Micro Sculpting cream fro great results.

Firstly the container has a dropper. I love the "pump dropper" bottle as it dispenses just the right amount of serum with no waste The container has a screw top so when you’re getting to the last of the product, you’ll be able to unscrew the top and get every last drop out before disposing of it. The container can be recycled which is a huge tick for me as well. The serum is super silky and glides over my skin really nicely. It seemed like it instantly made my skin look like it was glowing. I let the serum sit on my skin for a couple of minutes to allow it to soak in before applying the Micro Sculpting cream over the top of the serum. I have pigmentation on my skin caused by the sun and after using the Miracle Boost serum and the Micro Sculpting cream for just 3 weeks, I do feel that my pigmentation had become slightly lighter. I will certainly carry on using it to see if it continues to lighten my pigmentation. I feel that my skin looks and feels better since using the serum, combined with the cream. The only negative I found is that when I apply my usual foundation over the top of the serum and cream, it doesn’t seem to blend into my skin properly. It starts flaking off. I’m not sure if this is the serum or the cream causing this problem. Overall, I do like this product and will use it again.

Love this amazing " Olay regenerist miracle boost pre-essence "! The design is elegant and it is easy to pump without any problem. Clear egg white like serum immediately absorbed by skin. My skin ( mature skin ) feels very comfortable after using. I can notice that my skin looks healthily moist and dewy and not oily. I also love the pleasant smell. This product is definitely a hydration boost on my mature skin and it does a very good preparation before my next step---- to apply the " Olay regenerist micro-sculpting cream".

I was lucky enough to trial this product on my 50+ skin. It is a clear, lightweight consistency which disappears into the skin, which I followed with the Micro-sculpting cream. I wondered how this product could possibly make a difference to my skin, however, within a week I noticed that my skin was feeling smooth and soft and not in need of my usually weekly exfoliation treatment. This continued, and every day, my skin felt the same as it did immediately after exfoliation.

I certainly do not look 10 years younger in 4 weeks, but my skin does appear softer and smoother.

I would like to continue using it, and would recommend it to others.

When I was invited to trial the Olay Regenerist Regime I was less nervous than I would have been about trialing any other skin care - because I love the Olay brand. I usually moisturise twice a day using the Olay Sensitive Lotion and it's kept my skin in good condition.

I'm 53 with the usual ageing suspects, fine lines, a few wrinkles. I have a rosey complexion. I was immediately curious about the Essence - with its sleek dropper bottle it looks very fancy. I was expecting a serum but this wasn't an oily serum, it was kind of gel-like. It absorbed beautifully from the moment I applied it. Within minutes my skin was so smooth, I didn't feel the need to moisturise. (I did of course...but that's another review!)

A few weeks in of twice a day use, my fine lines have reduced, quite dramatically, in fact. I think my skin tone is more even.

It's hard to separate the two products for the review, but I think there's a synergy between them both, so I'd definitely use them both together. (This serum apparently makes the day cream more impactful, I believe that!)

I think I'll easily get 8 weeks out of the routine, maybe more, which makes the price really competitive compared to other anti-ageing products on the market.In short, I think this is a really great routine and highly recommend it. The results after just a few weeks have blown me away!
